Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A national bank during normal operation could pay the amount of [the usury] penalty from its profits so that its creditors and depositors would not suffer. But when the bank is in receivership any depletion of the estate ... will affect creditors and depositors who were in no way connected with or responsible for the usurious transaction. The purpose of the punitive double recovery provision, which is to prevent repetition of the offense, does not exist when the bank is in process of liquidation and its activities are being progressively curtailed.”
